?40: Chapter 40: Powerful Enemy 40: Chapter 40: Powerful Enemy After annexing the territory of the Skeleton Tribe, Zhou Tian’s Beastman Clan had improved immensely.

    However, they had yet to fully digest these gains.

    Additionally, the Undead Monsters were extremely powerful.

    In the end, Zhou Tian’s Beastmen were defeated not long after the battle began with these Undead Monsters.

    Indeed, one could say, given the strength of Zhou Tian’s Beastmen, they were crushed upon contact when they faced these Undead Monsters.

    The power gap between the two sides was too big.

    If the strength of Zhou Tian’s Beastmen was between level twelve and twenty, according to the monster rating system, the strength of the Undead Monsters was at least level twenty.

    In such a situation, the defeat of Zhou Tian’s Beastmen was inevitable.

    As a result, the second layer of the Skeleton Cave that they once occupied was lost to the Undead Monsters after their invasion.

    Had the number of Undead Monsters invading at that time been larger, and if Zhou Tian’s Beastmen hadn’t desperately resisted, Zhou Tian’s loss would have been much greater than just the second layer of the Skeleton Cave.

    Upon learning this, Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate to rush to the Skeleton Cave at the first opportunity.

    Zhou Tian did not want to see the current situation unfold.

    He had a rough plan for the development of his forces and had confidence in their growth.

    However, he never anticipated such an accident when he felt everything was under control.

    The emergence of the Undead Monsters was a slap in the face.

    If not careful, Zhou Tian’s current forces could be handed to others.

    Since the Blood Moon Lord and the Lord of the Hades were foes, the Undead Monsters could very well treat them as enemies.

    The Undead Monsters had no reason not to attack Zhou Tian, whose strength was inferior to theirs.

    However, Zhou Tian knew that no matter how much he regretted it, it was too late. Sear?h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    When he arrived at the Skeleton Cave, he calmed down and didn’t rush to counterattack upon entry at the second layer of the cave, but instead began deploying his defenses.

    What defenses?

    Considering Zhou Tian’s strength, he knew he could not match the Undead Monsters.

    He never planned to have a hard fight with them.

    The only thing he could do while his strength was inferior was to give the order to seal the entrance from the first to the second layer of the Skeleton Cave.

    “Throw!” With Zhou Tian’s order, a group of Beastman warriors each lofted a half-meter diameter rock towards the entrance from the first to the second level of the Skeleton Cave.

    Inevitably, many members of both the Beastmen and the Undead Monsters were killed or injured under the continuous fall of the rocks.

    However, the actions of Zhou Tian had no effect on both sides.

    The Beastmen couldn’t leave because of Zhou Tian’s orders, and the Undead Monsters seemed not to fear death.

    Even though many of them were crushed by the rocks thrown by Zhou Tian’s Beastman warriors, they continued to fight the Beastmen without pause.

    The Skeleton Cave looked ordinary, but for some reason, it was incredibly strong.

    Originally, Zhou Tian planned to block the entrance to prevent the Undead Monsters from continuing to invade.

    However, he found it extremely difficult to destroy the stone wall of the Skeleton Cave.

    Under such circumstances, Zhou Tian had no choice but to order his Beastmen to bring in rocks from outside to block the entrance.

    From the actions of Zhou Tian’s Beastmen, he realized it wouldn’t be easy to block the entrance according to his plan.

    If he had another choice, Zhou Tian might have given up this action already.

    Nevertheless, under Zhou Tian’s strict orders, even though their actions didn’t show any visible effects, his Beastmen kept throwing rocks into the lower entrance.

    Eventually, after nearly one day of continuous work and a large number of rocks piled up at the entrance, the first and second layers of the Skeleton Cave were temporarily isolated.

    But…

    “What’s that noise?” Just as Zhou Tian breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a faint noise coming from below the pile of rocks.

    Zhou Tian thought it was a monster that hadn’t died completely and was moving.

    But as the noise got louder, Zhou Tian couldn’t help but pay more attention to this situation.

    “You…” Just as Zhou Tian was about to order a Beastman warrior to check the situation through the gap, the entrance he had tried so hard to block shrank suddenly.

    The rocks that had blocked the entrance slid into the second layer of the Skeleton Cave like flowing water.

    “What?” Zhou Tian was surprised to see this.

    After the piles of rocks disappeared from his sight, Zhou Tian then realized what had happened.

    Originally, blocking the lower entrance with rocks was a simple yet effective plan.

    But after the entrance was blocked, the Undead Monsters came up with a way to deal with it.

    If Zhou Tian could get the Beastmen to bring in rocks to trap the Undead Monsters in the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, then the Undead Monsters could use manpower to move these rocks from where they were trapped.

    As a result, just as Zhou Tian thought he had successfully blocked the Undead Monsters in the second layer of the Skeleton Cave, the Undead Monsters moved the rocks brought in by Zhou Tian’s Beastman Warriors, rendering all of Zhou Tian’s previous plans and tactics fruitless at that moment.

    Undoubtedly, the current situation is very unfavorable for Zhou Tian.
